【Analysis: The number of transactions in the BTC mempool has significantly decreased compared to the end of last year, indicating a potential crisis】The number of transactions in the Bitcoin mempool (the queue of unconfirmed transactions) has significantly decreased compared to the end of 2024. Observers believe that the idle mempool signals an impending crisis. Data shows that this Saturday, there were only over 5,000 transactions waiting to be included in the Bitcoin mempool. As of the time of publication, the total number of transactions has risen to 15,000, but this is still far from the 150,000 transactions when the BTC price first surpassed $100,000 at the end of 2024. Joao Wedson, CEO and founder of the crypto data analysis platform Alphractal, stated that the idle Bitcoin mempool indicates a lack of retail participation in the market.
